Cytomel is a thyroid hormone that speeds up the metabolism causing a faster
conversion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The result is increased fat
burning. This drug is usually used as a part of cut (dieting) cycles. Stack of
Cytomel and Clenbuterol is probably the best fat burning stack , Cytomel is also
very popular with women. Start with one or half a tablet and slowly increase the
dose over next few days until you reach the required dose. Liothyronine sodium
is to be taken divided throughout the day and the cycles should be kept short (
4-6 weeks) with an off period of at least 4 - 6 weeks.

Cytomel (T3) does speed fat loss. As a guideline, for most 12.5 mcg/day is a conservative “supplement” sort of dosing that seems to have no detectable adverse effect on thyroid function at all. 25 mcg/day is a “supplement” sort of dosing that does have some inhibitory effect. 50 mcg/day is a reasonably conservative bb’ing sort of dose that, of course, is more inhibitory. 75 mcg/day is getting into more of a problem area; 100 mcg/day in many cases leads to loss of muscle size and strength.

Is T3 catabolic?It may shock many
people to know that T3 is NOT catabolic per se. Cortical steroids are catabolic
drugs that attack muscle tissue directly regardless of caloric intake; T3 does
not. It is a very potent calorie burner and it does not discriminate between
carbohydrates, protein and fat. Unlike DNP, it has no protein sparing
properties. T3 is also more likely to burn muscle than fat in lean users (10-12%
BF), but this can be said for any extreme drop in caloric intake and uptake such
as starvation diets (Caloric intake <10 X BW).
Muscle loss can be avoided with the use of anabolic agents. T3’s alleged
catabolic properties have become legendary. Excessive amounts of T3 (more than
75mcg), will have a very strong calorie burning effect, and since some
bodybuilder use 150 mcg, it’s easy to see why such misinformation has been so
prevalent. The average bodybuilder will not need several grams of steroids to
counter a reasonable dose of T3. There is no need to use more than 75mcg-100mcg.
Going beyond this dose will cause more harm than good, as massive doses of
steroids need to be used to counter the muscle loss, further stressing the body
for minimal, if any additional benefits.

T3 can also give your muscles an extremely flat look and very soft feel. This
side effect of extreme glycogen depletion can have a very profound psychological
impact in bodybuilders. It often feels and looks like muscle loss when it’s
simply a lack of muscle “pump” because of restricted blood flow to that area and
depletion of glycogen stores in muscles. Generally, carbohydrate loading does
not solve this problem. “Pumping up” (or training for that matter) brings more
blood into the muscles and is a temporary albeit effective solution. Clenbuterol
and certain steroids can offset the lack of muscle pump because these drugs tend
to “harden up” users by bringing more blood into to the muscles.

Are steroids absolutely necessary on
T3?

This is very dependent on the user. Diet must be flawless, only reasonable doses
should be considered (50mcg) and the user must know his body to a tee. Those who
don’t know what that last statement entails should not even consider T3. This is
a veteran drug and should not be used by bodybuilders who are new to the game or
do not have a deep understanding of how there bodies react to certain foods and
training philosophies.
T3 can be used alone or better yet with
Clenbuterol without fear of muscle loss in overly fat people (20-25% BF). This
is not recommended, however, since these people will generally return to
overeating upon discontinuation of their cycle and may likely end up with more
weight than they started with.

How
should I eat on T3?
Protein should be kept at 1.5-2g per lb of
bodyweight. The majority of protein should come from lean meats. Shakes can be
used, but should not be heavily relied on as they are more likely to be turned
into glucose and used immediately for energy. Caloric reduction should come from
carbs and fat only.

Fat-loss: The
main use for T3.

Increase Nutrient Uptake: Not very well
known, but this is a great use for T3. Doses between 6.25-12.5mcg do not
shutdown endogenous thyroid output. T3 at this dose can be used to add LBM and
help in keeping the fat off. When doses are kept at 6.25-12.5mcg, muscles are
full and rock hard, and energy is through the roof. At these light doses, it’s
common for people to go to the bathroom 5-6 times a day because there bodies are
making more efficient use of the food they eat.So how do I cycle this
stuff?T3/Clen/Anavar Cycle

Anavar is the single best
steroid to stack with T3. Its anti-catabolic properties are unmatched and it
will not shut down the HPTA. There’s nothing like simultaneous sex hormone and
thyroid hormone shutdown, I bet it feels great. Primobolan at 200mg a week would
be a good substitute since it doesn’t shut you down. Dbol at 10-15mg taken in
the morning can also be used but Arimidex must be included with the Dbol. T3
increases the amount of beta-3-adregenic receptors (by 500%!) in white adipose
tissue, i.e. the fat that covers muscle. Since clen exerts most of its effect on
the same receptors, the combination with T3 would yield quite a strong
synergistic effect. T3/Clen may be too much for the heart in some people.

Ketotifen:Stacked with Clenbuterol, 2mg ED. This
drug may not be an option for some people since it can make them extremely
hungry. If this is the case, Clen should be used 2 weeks on 2 weeks off.

Albuterol:30 days: 60-120mcg ED. Use clen from the
first 37.5mcg dose to the last 25mcg dose. Ketotifen will make you more
sensitive to clenbuterol so doses should be adjust accordingly.

T3:12.5mcg for 5-7 days (optional but
recommended)
37.5mcg for 5 days
75mcg for 15 days
50mcg for 5
days
37.5mcg for 5 days
25mcg for 5 days
12.5 mcg for 5 days
6.25mcg
for 5-7 days

Disclaimer
T3 is not a drug that should be taken
lightly. It’s a very potent thyroid hormone. Messing with your natural hormone
levels is very dangerous and unpredictable. The potential for complications is
very high, and abuse can lead to thyroid disease and low thyroid output not only
immediately upon discontinuation, but also later in life.
There is no such
thing as safe use of T3 outside of a medical setting. There is only “safer” use.
Use at your own risk.
